Remotion Plugins from

http://www.remotion.de.vu

DiTools - A suite of deformers and generators currently version 0.8 soon to be 0.9. Includes:

Dicloner - Clone an object on the verteces of another object taking into account the objects texture for many parameters.

DiShaper - Realtime displacement, allows you to take multiple textures and displace an object in any direction with them, shows the displacement in the viewport.

DiSplineGen -Generates splines from the verteces of another object. Great procedural modelling tool (and also neat for fields of corn or hair).

DiParametric - Parametric shape generator

Also contains a couple of cool shaders that work with the ditools plugins.

TDEM - Particle plugins which allow some serious control of the standard non thinking particles particle system in Cinema. These tags and objects allow you to emit from teh surface on an object, to constrain an objects surface to the particles, to give the particles goals, to generate splines that react to particle generators (gravity etc) like hair would.

ASE Exporter - Apparently for those Unreal Tournament files or something, maybe someone else can explain this one better than me

[Per-Anders]

And I have made a few plugins myself

http://www.peranders.com/c4d8

Go to the library area of Renderzone.

Camera Gaffer - A tag that when applied to a camera modifies the rotation behaviour in a number of different ways for better modelling control.

Julienne - Slices a selection or object a set number of times in any direction evenly.

Flush Select - Allows you to expand your current selection out to the edges of that "plane" on your object. Can also with a little ingenuity be used to select polygon belts.

[Per-Anders]

oh and i just addded one

MaxUV Tools - Copy/Paste UV polys points, Rotate UV's, Flip UV's, Smooth bad UV joins, Maximise UV's in UV space. A suite of UV Texture manipulation plugins for all sorts.

MSA and HELIX by Mikael Sterner (NOT for free)

Use MSA all the time!

http://www.xlentplugs.com/

MSA (Multiple Spline Attach) allows for things like aniimateable chain links, and beads on a string. Can be used in conjunction with Helix for things like DNA with all the nucleotides/basepairs aligned and twisted properly. All kinds of animateable parameters.

Helix allows you to wrap a helix around a spline and the spline can control the movement of the helix as well. Much better than the spline primitve spiral that comes with C4d.

[tinrocket]

I have put a sample C.O.F.F.E.E plugin and some reusable XML Classes on my site:

http://www.tinrocket.com/content/code/000037.html

Description of plugin and classes:

CustomXMLExport is a sample filter plugin that allows you to export CINEMA 4D scenes as XML. This sample plugin shows how to use the XML classes in the file, "tinrocketXML.coh", which formats your content and structure into a valid XML file.

The XML classes were written to facilitate C4D scene, object & data export for game & software development purposes. This sample plugin could be adapted to your software project's production pipeline very easily.

This plugin is independent of the native C4D XML format, which is not documented and had recently disapeared for one release (8.0). It is therefore available for your use when the built-in options for exporting your scenes in a human-readable format is not supported by C4D.

Free, requires CINEMA 4D v7.3 or v8.x and higher.

Thanks,
John Balestrieri

Hi, there is a Plugin from me.

TargetZero:

This Plugin sets the position and rotation data of an object to zero. If the object is in a hierarchy, then the object takes over the data of its over object. It is a very simple Plugin, if one builds however the Icon into its layout, can it the Workflow increase.

There is some great stuff being developed - thanks to all involved!
I just found this yesterday...
Check out 'MoveShearRotate' at:

http://www.welter-4d.de/plugins.html

I've no connection with the author - I'm just a user happy to find this plug, which goes some way to filling a long standing gap in C4D - the ability to rotate points around a user defined centre*.

The author has already had requests to extend the functionality to include 'scale', and to enable an edge to act as a selected axis of rotation.

This guy deserves some support. His other plugs are also excellent.


Mike Abbott

* Even the author himself thinks this 'positionable centre of rotation' functionality ought to be part of the normal toolset. He's absolutelty right IMO.

[LucentDreams]

yes the cellular shader is truly awesome, I love it a lot, and point collapse replaces the need for weld tools, quicker faster and more control in a single rather than two additional as well as the original weld.

Wow, those are the best plugins ever, thanks. This is also my first post here.

[astrofish]

powerAxis1.0 (http://www.astrofish.com/powerAxis/powerAxis.html) now available.


This plugin provides full control over the modelling axes in Cinema4D R8, providing a significant increase in the modeller functionality.

This allows you to rotate and scale arbitrary vertex/edge/poly selections around arbitrary locations, rather than the fixed location (centre of bounding box of current selection) that C4D normally gives you.

E.g. Rotate a polygon selection around one of its own edges, or if you want something more complex, how about scaling an edge selection about a vertex, whilst been constrained to being parallel to an edge from a different object...

It also provides tools for positioning entire objects such that a specific feature is placed where you want it - e.g. placing one object on another so that they have co-planar faces, etc.

Cost is $30, and a demo is available.

Works for Macs and PC, available for Cinema4D R8 only.

QikiLoft
Instantly lofts a spline across a straight line.

(Reposted from main forum)

Hi polygon fans,

I've written a free plugin 'geomCheck' whose purpose in life is to find bad geometry in your meshes.
This should help track down the causes of some of those rendering artefacts and subdivision oddities that tend to creep in and can be hard to track down.

It should work on Mac and PC, for C4D 6.3 and above.

Select a polygon object, use the plugin and it will list the details of any bad geometry that it finds in the console window.
At the same time, it selects all of the polygons that have problems, and also selects all vertices that are associated with open edges/mesh cracks so you can see where the problems are.

(Note: It would be better if it selected edges, but it's written in Coffee, and coffee can't make edge selections, so you have to manually convert from vertex to edge, or just look at the verts).

The download includes PDF documentation which describes the six different types of problem that it can find, and how to fix them. An example file which demonstrates each of these problems is also provided.

[SHAMELESS PLUG]
The plugin is free, but if you find it useful may I suggest that you might like to buy spinPoly, which can help you easily fix most of the problems that geomCheck finds. And it won't upset your UVW maps either. And it's cheap...
[/SHAMELESS PLUG]

Anyway, go get geomCheck from my website (http://www.astrofish.com)

Support for this plugin has been so overwhelming that I have added the first step in supporting DAZ|Studio import by way of the "OBJ for Bryce 5" export option. More support to come thanks to the great people over at Daz3d!

In addition to this, the code base has been unified for Windows and MacOS to facilitate easier updating/maintenance and the parse algorithms have been updated to increase parsing speed.

Finally, development of interPoser Pro is in progress. Although it may be some months before a beta release is announced, it is with great pleasure that I make this announcement.

Now, if it would work on a Mac, that would be great.

[cookepuss]

Not bad, but without tighter integration with the material editor and more control over nodes, its purpose is a little more limited.

My three biggest peeves were...
1) Having to leave tree view to edit parameters was a letdown.
2) Being unable to manually create or drag branches in tree view was equally disappointing.
3) Not knowing until I checked my console window that 9.100+ was required did a mind trip on me. :) (I forgot to update my C4D when I reinstalled it yesterday. Oops.. :p)

Still, this is a nice step toward a functional shader tree system.

EDIT>> Tree View just crashed while I was navigating the tree (with pictures enabled). Oh well. (R9.1, P4-3.06GHz, WinXP SP2, OGL Rendering, NVIDIA GF4)

I just thought I post two little helpers I created:

Disable MaterialsMaterials are disabled by restricting them to a selection that starts with "off#". Existing restrictions are left intact but prependend with "off#" also. Enabling the Materials again restores the original restrictions.

This one is useful if you want to do "Clay" renderings of already textured scenes.

Requires release 9.1 as it uses the enhanced COFFEE syntax with # operator introduced in 9.1
Create Null HierarchyDuplicates a selected hierarchy by creating a new hierarchy using nulls. The original object's name (plus appended .null), position and orientation is duplicated.

This is handy if you want to created targets for the use with Pose Mixer. Instead of duplicating the original objects you now can have a lightweight null hierarachy for the poses.

Tested with release 8.5 but should work with earlier versions as well.

You can download both plugins here:
http://www.codesign.at/en/downloads.html

Both plugins are COFFEE plugins and are distributed in source under a BSD style license.

[Kuroyume0161]

SplitSelection was prompted by a request to split selection tag selections when working with Symmetry objects.

When you make the Symmetry object editable, your original selection tags get both sides of the symmetry in selections. This plugin lets you select a set of tags and then splits the selections according to the Mirror Plane and the side thereof on which the originals resided. The result is two selection tags, the original containing the original selection set and a new tag which contains the mirrored set. And to make the process complete, prefixes can be attached automatically to the tag names (such as 'Left_' or 'Right_') .

Works with Point, Polygon, Edge selection tags and VertexMap tags. Just setup, select tags, and 'Split'.

Edge selection tags resolved - boy, was that painful! ;)

New free plugin for R8+ (PC only) to add or update a 'Normal Tag' to your polygonal mesh objects.

From the included readme file:

With the release of version 8.0 (?? maybe it was 8.2 or 8.5) Cinema 4D now has a 'Normal' Tag that can be associated with polygonal mesh objects. Normals (or 'vertex normals') are basically a unit vector that is perpendicular to the face of a polygon (for face normals), or the average of all the face normals that surround a vertex (for vertex normals). Face Normals can be used to determine whether a polygon is facing the camera, or away from it, so it's used in Backface Culling, as well as simple (flat) shading models. Vertex Normals are used in lighting calculations to generate smooth-shading.

Most applications (including Cinema 4D) these days don't require that the mesh have explicit Normal data attached to it, instead, they generate that information internally at runtime. However, there are some cases where you might want the output file to have the Normal information written in it (my Riptide .obj import/export plugin can read/write Normal information - IF the tag exists before exporting, or IF the normals exist in the file before importing).

So, generally speaking, if you don't know why you'd need a Normal Tag, you probably don't - C4D doesn't need a Normal Tag on a mesh in order to render it correctly... and in fact, many tools and plugins might not update the tag correctly, causing strange shading errors, once you start slicing the mesh up (adding/removing vertices). If/When this happens, you can either:

a) delete the Normal Tag
b) use this plugin to update the Normal Tag :)

...so what this plugin does is create a Normal Tag (normal vector information for each vertex of each polygon) on a polygonal mesh. If the mesh already has a Normal Tag, it deletes that and attaches the new/updated one.

p.s. I wrote this plugin because I didn't see any way within C4D to create a Normal Tag, so if it's there, or someone else already wrote this plugin... oops :).

You can find the plugin at Spanki's Prop Shop (http://www.skinprops.com/) on the C4D page.

Have fun!

[Keith Young]

There's a new version of my Riptide .obj import/export plugin available for R9.102 or later which now supports N-gons (polygons with more than 4 sides).

Hello,

there is new UVDeformer version. Now for R9. PC only, however. Sorry.

The new version should be easier to use.
At least you don't necessarily need a UV-mapped object anymore. Instead you can use pairs of identical objects. Identical except for point positions, of course. One of the objects should be somewhat planar, as a uv-map replacement.
There are quite a lot of changes. It should generally be faster and more reliable. There are more options for controlling the uv-map positioning, the displacement direction. You can change most of the options on a per-child basis by using a special UVDeformer Tag.
Oh.. and i tried to make a nice manual and videos, which i hope, help to get started.

Hey there,
With this plugin you can use the same Shader (even complex ones with layers) in multiple channels, shaders and even Materials.
So if you like to have the same shader in the color and the displacement channel, you just set a Reference Shader in the Displacement channel, and that's it. every changes to the color-shader now also affect the shader in the displacement.

For insertion you can browse through a tree of your materials and shaders like this:

Hi!

Any chance this plugin will be compiled to UB so it can be used in R10 (Mac)?

Thanks!

Great plugin by Samir "Katachi" Kharchi ...

This file contains a plugin for cinema4d version 9.0 or greater , which can replace the Cinema 4D
Bounding Box (which has an offset to the object geometry). Simply turn of the Cinema 4D Bounding box
in the view settings and turn BBoxer on.

I have decided to reduce the price of my Cinema4D / BodyPaint 3D Undertow Plugin (http://skinprops.com/undertow.php) by 50% to make it easier for those people using the demo version enjoy the additional capabilities of the full version.

The price has been reduced from $24.95 to just $12.50 USD (via PayPal).

[The Undertow plugin is a suite of tools for use primarily inside BodyPaint 3D's UV Edit mode, but there are also a few for use in the Cinema4D modeller. There is an Online Manual (http://skinprops.com/undertow/index.htm) available that describes each tool. If you haven't tried it yet, there is also a demo version of the plugin available in the downloads (http://skinprops.com/download.php]downloads[/link) section (some functionality is limited in the demo version).]

Cheers,

Keith

A couple of new plugins here.

EdgeShade (http://www.biomekk.com/index.php?page=1&cat=107&itm=18) which primarily puts a bevel on hard edges of your object.

and

Enhance:C4D (http://www.biomekk.com/index.php?page=1&cat=107&itm=1) which is a set of 178 procedural shaders.

I've also got some cool freebies floating around, so have a look around my site here (http://www.biomekk.com).

Once installed this plugin adds the ".smd" file format to cinema's export menu, allowing direct export of models (as reference smd file) for compiling with any Half Life 2, Source SDK/Engine, mod, game, project, etc.

For c4d versions 9.6 and up.
Currently does not support animations.

I have just posted a v1.10 update (free to registered users) to my Undertow plugin. The update includes 3 new tools*...

* UV Map Box
Similar to C4D's (BodyPaint's) "Box" mapping mode - see the docs (http://skinprops.com/undertow/index.htm) for details.

* UV Map Cylindrical Cap
Similar to UVMapper's "Cylindrical Cap" mapping mode - see the docs (http://skinprops.com/undertow/index.htm) for details.

* UV Tile Fit
A tool to help with tiled mapping, difficult to explain in a few words - see the docs (http://skinprops.com/undertow/index.htm) for details.

...supported versions are R8.206 - R9.6 (PC and Mac PPC), as well as R10.0 (PC) and R10.1 (Mac) or later. You can grab the update from the download section (http://skinprops.com/download.php) on my site.

[*NOTE: The new tools are disabled in the DEMO version, but the FULL version is available for a new reduced price on the Undertow page (http://skinprops.com/undertow.php).]

Cheers,

Keith

[Rich-Art]

Thanks for the update Keith...

Peace,

[Keith Young]

It's me again :)....

I have just posted a Free v1.20 update to my Undertow plugin. This update includes:

- 3 new tools added:


Set Axis - Sets the mesh object's origin to the center of the selected polys/points - see the docs (http://skinprops.com/undertow/index.htm) for details.
UV ShiftU - Shifts uv polygons to the left or right edge of the uv-mapping space - see the docs (http://skinprops.com/undertow/index.htm) for details.
UV ShiftV - Shifts uv polygons to the bottom or top edge of the uv-mapping space - see the docs (http://skinprops.com/undertow/index.htm) for details.

- some additional functionality added to the UV CenterU and UV CenterV commands.

- see notes for changes with UV TileU and UV TileV commands.

- fixed a bug with the new UV Map Box command when fewer than all polygons of the mesh were selected. This fix also affected the other mapping commands (selected polygons will now be mapped as if all polygons were selected).

- **Pricing for the licensed version will increase on or immediately after Dec. 10th 2007** [the new pricing will only apply to new registrations after the 10th - this and future minor revisions are still a free upgrade for current owners]

As usual, there is a DEMO version available in the download area of my site (http://skinprops.com/) (some features are disabled in the DEMO version).

Hi,

I created my very first C4D plugin, thanks to 'The COFFEE Book' :) I thought it would be a good idea sharing it with the c4d community.

http://www.patrickeischen.com/plugins/fastCheck/images/banner.jpg


LINK TO THE DOWNLOAD (http://www.patrickeischen.com/fastCheck.php)


The purpose of this (very small) plugin is to speed up the creating and applying of a checkerboard texture in Cinema 4D. When adjusting the UV coordinates, I often create a checkerboard material and apply it to the model which makes working with the UVs easier. To do this you have to create a new material and you have to create a new Checkerboard surface in the color channel. This material has to be applied to the object and finally you have to adjust the scale of the checkerboard. Plenty of unnecessary mouse clicks.

With this plugin creating and applying the checkerboard texture will be realised with 1 single mouse click. Adjusting the size of the checkerboard is done with a slider. You also have the possibility to chose between 3 different checkerboard textures.

This screenshot should make it clear what this plugin realizes

http://www.patrickeischen.com/plugins/fastCheck/images/image_03.jpg


I know this sounds very unspectecular and you're right, it is. But anyway, you might find it usefull so I made it available on my site.

/Patrick

[acmepixel]

Thanks Patrick, a very nice little enhancement to our workflow. :thumbsup:

Hi petz, you did a nice tool, thank you! could you please give me a mirror download link, unfortunately your site IP is blocked here:( Thanks!

Howdy,

I've recently released a new plugin called CD Transfer Tools. This plugin is a workflow plugin which makes transferring objects around in the scene a bit easier. The transfer commands included are: CD Transfer, CD Transfer Mirror, CD Transfer Replace, CD Transfer Swap, CD Transfer Align and CD Transfer Links. There is also a CD Coordinates Manager which allows you to work in real world units. This makes it possible to set the unit scale and to convert between units:
http://www.cactus3d.com/CDCoords.mov

I've recorded a complete video manual/tutorial which you can download here:
http://www.c4dportal.com/cactusdan/CDTransferTools.zip

It's a long one at 35 minutes (49 mb), but it should give you a complete description of the plugin's features. ;)

The plugin is now available from my web site:
http://www.cactus3d.com/Plugins.html

I hope you find the new plugin useful. :)

Adios,
Cactus Dan

Hi,

Just thought I would list the two plugins that I offer at my site.

"Harvester" allows users to save and apply saved animation to rigs.

"Multi-Renderer" allows users to render up to 10 different scenes and varying cameras and render settings.

http://www.totalemersionstudios.com/

[tcastudios]

Hi nj0001.
A little feedback on you site, meant in the most respectful way.
I know from reputation that your plugins are good but, after trying to chase the "links"
for a while I gave up to check them out:(
It's an absolute awesame thing to look at, but a awful way to get thru...

Maybe have a regular html option right away (and no sound).

Again, just a respectful feedback:)

Cheers
Lennart

hi there,
i guess or hope this is the right place for posting a videopost plugin and a randomCreation plugin i recently created.
the first called vpxLiner and creates images like this:
http://www.earthcontrol.de/downloads/c4d/plugins/pfxLiner3.jpg
http://www.earthcontrol.de/downloads/c4d/plugins/pfxLiner2.jpg
http://www.earthcontrol.de/downloads/c4d/plugins/pfxLiner1.jpg

the second one (called ranDomizer) creates randomized copies of the selected object and should be used with care, specially when using the "iterate" .it is located in the plugin menu and things like this can be done with it:
http://www.earthcontrol.de/downloads/c4d/plugins/ranDomizer1.jpg
http://www.earthcontrol.de/downloads/c4d/plugins/ranDomizer5.jpg

you can download it here (http://www.earthcontrol.de/main.php?loc=downloads&subitem=c4d&deep=plugins&aktion=listit) (its the plugEllo.zip)


i hope some may enjoy using them...
cheers,

hi there,

Hi Ello,

Looks great, but how do I use them?

[ello23]

just put the folder into the plugins directory of cinema. for the moment it's only for windows. i tested it with the r11 demo and it worked there, too. but i guess it needs to be compiled for 64bit versions separately and since i dont have a 64bit system, i cant compile it for this. a mac version could be done, tho

[birdy]

I am looking forward for the Mac version.

[ello23]

ok, the zip contains mac versions now
plugEllo (http://www.earthcontrol.de/main.php?loc=downloads&subitem=c4d&deep=plugins&aktion=listit)

hope you like it (an i hope it works, since i cant test the mac compilation)

[SilverCity]

Thanks for the Mac version. Just starting to play with it.

[soccerrprp]

the link to the plugin is missing?

[ello23]

i took it down since i put more efford in it and decided to create a plugin collection i am going to try to sell. a demo will be available for direct download in some hours over here (http://plugEllo.earthcontrol.de/?l=EN) (still under developement, too)

cheers,
ello

[ello23]

thanks for your interest,

Hello folks,

i just wanted to tell you that there are finally 64 bit versions of my plugins for the Mac. Also all plugins were recompiled for C4d R11. I removed the plugin version number from the directory names in the zip, so remember to delete the old one. Also i couldn't test the plugins on all systems. Maybe something doesn't work. Let me know in this case.

cheers,
Michael
